the ick : Most liked Posts

My worst ick moments were with a really good looking guy that I'd fancied for months back when I was 20,
He worked in the local butchers that mum and me would call into every Saturday he was an apprentice all handsome and friendly I was crushing badly, Eventually after lots of over the counter glances and banter the fit butcher boy asked me out i couldn't wait to see him not in his uniform as all the staff wore head to toe white with red aprons, date night arrived and he shows up - in smart black trousers that were just slightly to short at the ankle, thick white socks and ridiculously shiny smart black shoes and the ick just hit me but off we went, then at the end of the date he went in for the kiss by putting both hands on the top of my shoulders like two claws, yanking me in then gripping on for life through out the worse kiss ever ! Nine years on and bad kissers and white socks with smart shoes are still my biggest turn offs

Sounds like you were hit by and very possibly struck by a smooth criminal.

Girls, what are the strangest things that give you the ick about a guy?

(The Ick is a sudden cringe feeling when you have romantic contact with someone: and become almost immediately put off by them)

Here are some of mine. They are so ridiculous I don’t know why they give me the ick.

-Wearing a backpack on both shoulders
-Wearing goggles whilst swimming
-Doing that awkward jog whilst crossing the road when a car stops
-Wearing jewellery
-Telling a joke but nobody heard so they repeat it louder
-Jumping up and down at a concert
-Really taking their time choosing a meal deal at Tesco

Please no harsh comments to me this is just a bit of fun and not intended to cause offence

You walk into the room. I knee you in the balls and tell you to fuck off you sleazy cunt. I call the police. You end up on a register. Your mum kicks you out of the box room.

Here we go, fellow Icksters... here follows the 'Doing the Deed' Ick.

We were on his bed and before the deed, he carefully explained to me this: "Kittypops, what you must know is, when a man ejaculates, it takes all his energy and he must rest afterwards." It kind of took a lot of the mood away, so he got a hand job and, yep, sure enough, when the happy ending occurred, he turned to me and said: "I shall rest now".

Ick! Ick! Ick!

My boyfriend is a walking ick.

1) he is religious with using hand cream and lip balm
2) he always takes a reusable bag for life to the shop with him (folded up into a near square in his pocket)
3) he gives commentary as he’s driving, e.g. “just going to increase my stopping distance to the car in front because…” constantly.
4) he sits and watched YouTube review videos on watches for hours
5) he earns a shit tonne of money and has a lot of investments, etc. but is the STINGIEST PERSON I KNOW. He had several free Costa drinks on the app and some were close to expiring he’s had them that long. I suggested one Sunday morning we go for a walk into town and use them, just something to do. He immediately began lecturing me on how it’s not sensible to use them and if I want a coffee when we’re out he has a travel mug we can fill with coffee at home and share it between us whilst we’re out . He also literally never treats me to anything, I’ve never had a birthday or Christmas present from him (we’ve been together 3 years).
6) he’s into fantasy football and has his fake little football teams and
7) he shouts at the tv when watching football/F1
8) he has Google home speaker things and when he talks to them he has to say “ok Google, turn my lights on” etc and it makes me want to die. He’s also got it set so when he says “ok Google, good morning” it turns his bedside lamps on and plays the radio

My friends husband gives me the major ick. We all went out, he left early. I went back to hers, she kissed me on the cheek and he got his cock out and suggested that we should get it on (her and me) while he watched.

We’re in our 40’s. We’ve been out for drinks and dinner loads before but now . He actually used the words “I’d like to watch you fingering each other”

Saying ‘panties’. I hate that word, instant fanny shriveler
Socks and sandals
being too nice and eager to please

This is just half the message.. this is also the message after the 4 in one, I’ve now blocked him it’s too much

Oh GOD the emoji next to “eating out”. That’s the bantersaurus in him. Good one Mitch ROFLLMAOiwanttofuckingdieHAHAHAHAHAHA.

This is a long one, but seeing as it may well be the reason for the demise of my (previously happy) relationship, I feel it’s warranted.

I was on the school run with my boyfriend the other day. It was bin day and the bin men were doing their job. A piece of cardboard packaging had fallen out of someone’s recycling bin and was on the ground. Boyfriend and bin man spotted it at the same time. Bin man said “I’ll get that.”

Boyfriend said, “Nah mate, I’ll just get that for you, buddy.” (Calling him mate or buddy was already icky imo but it got worse ).

Boyfriend then reached down for cardboard as a gust of wind blew it a little further down the road.

I then watched my boyfriend chase after this bit of cardboard saying “Hehe! Nearly got it for you pal!” (Pal ) whilst the bin man just stood silently watching.

Eventually (it felt like a lifetime) he retrieved said piece of cardboard and handed it to the bin man with “What a tricky piece of rubbish. Here you go. Have a great day mate.”

I walked off.

I’ve struggled to look him in the eye since.

*Edited because of all the typos I’d made in my distressed state.

We were out for dinner last night and a couple on the next table had just received their drinks. They cheersed and then the man said 'chin chin cheroo, baby' .

Everything about this repels me. The clothes, the gym body and the ' 'I'm so fit and hot' expression.

I’ve been messaging a guy on bumble and he’s beginning to give me the ick. He asked where I live but he said “where does the lady reside?” And today he’s asked what “the lady” has done today. I’ve been single that long, I’m wondering if I’ve become intolerant to men.

Men in vests. This guy on a fitness app gives me the ick and I’ve just seen his name





Mr and Mrs Bumstead, and baby Bumstead.

I’ve been making a list of Icks that my husband has done this week. I’ll bring it up later at his performance review

Oh this made me think of men who wear a football tshirt (of their team, with that shiny material)

Click to expand...

Lads who go to the pub to watch the match in their footie shirt is one thing, but when they just sit in front of the telly at home wearing one is another

It reminds me of a meme I seen once saying "why do lads wear a football shirt at home to watch the match, i don't dress up as Gail Platt to watch Corrie"

I get really put off by men who feel the cold and are always shivering.

I seriously went out with someone who shared the same bath water as his mum! She would get out the bath and shout ‘baths free love’ He was 28 at the time. Honestly I was out of there like a flash

Omg so my mate had a date with this guy and when his dessert came he… wiggled in his seat, clapped and went “yummy yummy” . I’d have left

To follow on from the last thread and @mindlessness question, did I finish with him (avocado-dribbler-mother's-boy ), unfathomably, I saw him again. Which leads me to another Ick, the Ick that finished it...

He had a doll called Molly in his bedroom, which admittedly did ick me out the first time I saw it, but, this time, after we had done the deed (more Ick potential in this department...), he said to me: "Molly thinks you're a bitch".

It was an Ick too far and I decided to set him free to Ick someone else out, I am so sorry.

Oh the levels of revulsion and shame I feel typing this out, it's quite liberating though!
